Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Six-foot-six, he stood on the ground
Weighed two hundred and thirty five pounds
But I saw that giant of a man brought down to his knees by love
[Verse 2]
He was the kind of man that would gamble on luck
Look you in the eye and never back up
But I saw him cryin' like a little whipped pup because of love
[Chorus]
Can't see it with your eyes, hold it in your hand
But like the wind that covers our land
Strong enough to rule the heart of any man, this thing called love
It can lift you up, it can let you down
Take your world, turn it all around
Ever since time, nothing's ever been found stronger than love
[Verse 3]
Most men are like me, they struggle in doubt
They trouble their mind day in and day out
Too busy with livin' to worry about a word called love
[Verse 4]
But when I see a mother's tenderness
As she holds her young close to her breast
Then I thank God this world's been blessed with a word called love
[Chorus]
Can't see it with your eyes, hold it in your hand
But like the wind that covers our land
Strong enough to rule the heart of any man, this thing called love
It can lift you up, it can let you down
Take your world, turn it all around
Ever since time, nothing's ever been found stronger than love
